I remember the first time I tried to make bagels…I was a senior in college and lived in a house that we kept very cold. At the time I knew nothing about the relationship between warmth, yeast and rising time. So, I made some very tasty bagel crackers. I have avoided attempting bagels ever since….

Raspberry Refrigerator Oatmeal
It has been a wonderful year for raspberries in our garden, otherwise referred to as “garden candy.” Not only have they been delicious, but I have been picking just shy of a quart every other day! Raspberry Refrigerator Oatmeal 1/4 cup uncooked old fashioned rolled oats 1/3 cup skim or lowfat milk 1/4 cup low-fat Greek…
Glazed Strawberry Bread
“Oh wow this is good!” was heard over and over as we each tried this bread. It was music to my ears. It was especially nice since I had made the bread simply because I had a lot of strawberries on my counter and had to find something to do with them. These were not strawberries from…
Asparagus, Tomato & Fontina Frittata
I am happy to say that it is still asparagus season in Delaware. So when I was at the farm market today, I bought about 3 lbs! Get ready for a few asparagus posts – if they turn out well, that is. I love asparagus frittatas. This on is a slight riff on Giada De…
Black Beans and Rice
There is something very satisfying about this cross between Cuban, Costa Rican and Mexican beans and rice. I fell in love with rice and beans in Costa Rica; what a great side dish for breakfast. But it is more versatile than that, it can be eaten as a side dish with fish or chicken. But…
Refrigerator Oatmeals
I always have grand plans for what healthy dish I will make myself for breakfast; but when morning rolls around, I end up with toast and nut butter or an egg and toast. Easy, simple, fast (I always wake up hungry). But then I found recipes for refrigerator oatmeals on The Yummy Life blog. They…
Baby Spinach & Kale Omelet
Breakfast for dinner or breakfast for breakfast. Omelets work for both. So simple, yet so tasty, omelets are often my fallback to use whatever I have around. This time it was spinach and kale, local eggs, aged cheddar and pepper jack cheese. My husband opted for the cheddar, and me, the kick of the pepper…
Sticky Date-Nut Bread
I have a love affair with dates. My favorites, of course, are the ones I get in the Middle East, but there are some really good dates to be had that are grown in California. I tasted some fantastic dates at the farmers market when I was in Sonoma County this summer. Now there is…
Kale-Turkey Bacon Herb Bread
Quick breads are a big thing in our house, a favorite breakfast food. Zucchini bread is, of course, the favorite, but there is peach bread, pumpkin bread, blackberry bread, and others. Recently, I added the fig graham bread and sweet potato pecan bread, and will be trying out a bunch of new breads over the upcoming…
Chile-and-Olive Oil Fried Egg with Avocado and Sprouts
It’s been a busy few weeks with a lot of heavy, rich, fattening foods and way too much sugar. So I wanted to start the new year with a light, fresh, healthy and very flavorful dinner. I also wanted it to be quick and easy, so, a twist on breakfast for dinner it was…Chile-and-Olive Oil…
